The classic Filipino Arroz Caldo, is a rice porridge that’s cooked with chicken in a broth seasoned with ginger, garlic, patis (fish sauce) and calamansi. This is a simple, hearty rice soup that is easy to make. It is also known to help heal one who has a cold or the flu, or when one is feeling under the weather. In my latest cookbook, Instant Filipino Recipes: My Mother’s Traditional Philippine Food In a Multicooker Pot, I shared how to cook this soup porridge in a quick way, without losing the flavors and the soul of mom’s cooking.
